Season
after season of little or no rainfall has left much of East Africa
facing terrible drought, with repeated crop failures, water scarcity,
poor harvests, depleted livestock reserves, and poor sanitation and
hygiene.

Described
by the UN as the greatest humanitarian crisis since the Second World
War, the
church mobilised and hope is being restored
to men, women and children across South Sudan, Ethiopia, Somaliland
and Kenya.

Thanks to the generosity of people like you,
the East Africa Crisis Appeal raised an incredible £4,156,076*.
Working through local Christian partners, so far your support is
making a big impact and lives are being saved.

Mary
and her 4-month-old daughter were severely malnourished when they
arrived at a Tearfund feeding centre in South Sudan. They were
immediately registered for treatment and were given life-saving
nutritional support.

‘I
thank God for this help from Tearfund and all the people in the UK,’
says Mary.PLEASE
PRAY:

Praise
God for the generosity of our supporters, and for the commitment of
Tearfund staff and partners. Pray that the international community
will continue to look upon East Africa with compassion.

Pray
for wisdom for those developing and implementing emergency relief
programmes. Pray for our country teams and partners; and for
individuals and communities to be strengthened as a result of these
programmes.

Lift
up those who have been affected by the current drought and famine;
for those who have been displaced, as well as those who have
remained and are now struggling to survive.

With
your help we have managed to reach 77,845 men, women and children,

47,128
emergency food distributions
26,487 helped with hygiene and
sanitation projects
2,800 families have received seeds and tools for crops
1,430 children
under 5, pregnant and breast feeding mothers received nutrition
treatment

With
every blessing, Tearfund
